2024 has been a standout year for Apple TV+, and Sunny, led by the talented Rashida Jones, has been a major part of that success. This genre-defying series seamlessly blends sci-fi, drama, and comedy, making it one of the most exciting shows on the platform. As Season 1 comes to a close, fans have been eagerly awaiting the finale, and Episode 10 does not disappoint, delivering shocking twists, emotional moments, and a cliffhanger that sets the stage for future seasons.
Is Masa Dead or Alive?
Episode 10 kicks off with Suzie finally reuniting with her son, Zen, picking up from the events of Episode 8, just before Sunny entered the surreal, game-show-like world of her own mind. Suzie’s relief at being with Zen again is short-lived as they are soon confronted by the Yakuza and Hime. Sunny, who has been shut down after her factory reset, is taken by the Yakuza, and Suzie’s desperate search for Masa leads to a cryptic response from Hime: “I’m so sorry for your loss.”

While we’re left with the suggestion that Masa might be dead, there is no solid confirmation. The tension builds as Suzie, Zen, Hiromasa, and Mixxy are held captive, with brief moments of levity that quickly give way to darker undertones. Hime is determined to extract the code from Sunny, and Hiromasa hints that Masa may have died trying to prevent this. Amidst the uncertainty about Masa’s fate, Zen finds a distraction in Mixxy, who seems to bond with him, adding an emotional layer to the episode.
Noriko’s Unexpected Heroism
In a surprising twist, Suzie’s mother-in-law, Noriko, emerges as an unlikely savior. Her position in prison gives her the opportunity to help Suzie, Hiromasa, Zen, and Mixxy escape their captors. This emotionally charged scene had viewers on the edge of their seats, as Noriko’s actions provide a moment of triumph in the face of overwhelming danger. Armed with a weapon, the group is now on the run, but the tension remains as they try to stay one step ahead of the Yakuza.
